Many people use tools every day in their work. Think about the tools used by carpenters, automotive technicians, machinists who make precision metal parts, furniture makers, potters who create vases and bowls. Other people become experts at using tools so they can enjoy hobbies. For example, a person whose hobby is woodworking might design and build a table for his or her home. In working on the Craftsman activity badge, you'll become good at handling a variety of tools. You'll use wood to make some of your projects. For others, you'll decide to work with leather, metal, or other materials. |
